A private sunset cruise on the North Coast is a few hours on a yacht for your group only, leaving the marina in the late afternoon so you are on the water as the sun goes down over the Mediterranean. The departure time moves with the season and is written on your quote.
Who it suits
Couples, families and small groups staying on the Sahel who want a calm evening at sea without a full day out. Good for a first time on a yacht.
How the evening usually goes
Your captain keeps along the coast near the marina and chooses the route for the wind and the sea that evening. There may be time for a swim before sunset if the group wants one and the captain allows it.
Your quote states the departure time, which changes with the season, the marina and how long you stay out.
Where you board
Most private boats on the North Coast leave from Marassi Marina in Sidi Abdel Rahman, at km 129 of the coastal road. Some leave from Porto Marina at km 105, next to New Alamein. Your quote names the marina and the meeting point, so you know where to find the crew.
When to go
The Mediterranean here is a seasonal sea. Near Marina El Alamein it averages about 17 °C in February and March, about 25 °C in June and about 29 °C in August, then cools to about 23 °C in November. The busy boat season on the North Coast runs from May to October. The wind averages about 14 to 19 km/h through the year and blows mostly from the north-west, a little stronger in March and April. Summer evenings are the most popular time to go out.
What is included
Before you pay, your concierge confirms with the operator in writing that there is a life jacket for every guest, in children’s sizes if children are coming. Everything else is written on your quote, line by line: snorkelling gear, food and drinks, towels, any protected-area fee and a hotel transfer. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.
Questions
What if the weather turns?
If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
Can we bring children?
Yes. Children count towards the licensed number of guests. Tell us their ages in your request, and your concierge confirms child-size life jackets with the operator in writing before you pay.
Can we add a cake or drinks?
Yes. Mention it in your request, and every extra is written on your quote with its price.
When do I pay?
Nothing is charged when you send a request. If you accept the quote, your concierge sends a secure payment link for the 25% deposit to LuxuryYacht.Tours, and you receive a receipt. You pay the 75% balance to the operator before boarding.
Who runs the yacht?
A licensed local operator. We name it on your booking page as soon as your deposit is paid. We are the booking agent and your concierge.
Do I need my passport?
Bring it or a copy. The port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves.
Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
For the whole boat. Every trip is a private charter for your group only, and the price covers the yacht, not each guest.
